}}

Welcome to the Hydropower Database (HPDB) on energypedia (beta version)! This database is meant to provided detailed information about hydropower sites worldwide, covering all sizes from a 1kW off-grid pico site up to a several GW large-scale hydropower station. Please help energypedia and its users by entering data about the hydro sites you know of! Thank you in advance!

The information from this database can be used in many ways. As a first step, it will be included in the Country Energy Profiles once a sufficient number of sites per country have been entered.

• There are currently 156 Hydropower sites in the database including 71 Mini Grids.

• You can also search this database by using the search function. With this function you can narrow results (i.e. Country) or find sites that match specific characteristics.

• You can add new sites to the "Hydropower Database" by typing the site name in the form below. You can also edit already existing site entries within the database by entering the site name below or by clicking on the site page and choosing edit with form.
